As the debut of the Urus approaches, Lamborghini continues to flood the internet with more and more teasers of the brand’s first SUV since the LM002. The luxury automaker’s latest video “Inspired Design” however not only gives us a peak at a camouflaged Urus getting down and dirty, it also gives us some background on the inspiration behind this historic vehicle.

Design director, Mitja Borkert, highlights multiple vehicles from Lamborghini’s past that his team took cues from when developing the Urus. The most obvious candidate is the LM002, Lamborghini’s first and last entry into the SUV market.

Borkert mentions a number of design elements on “the world’s first super SUV” that will, to some degree, be found on the all-new Urus. They include the LM002’s hexagonal wheel arches, sharply domed hood, and the triangular side-mounted air outlet that Borkert proclaims will sport an Italian flag, just to make sure no one forgets where this bad boy was made.

Borkert also says the Urus’ design was influenced by one of Lamborghini’s most iconic vehicles, the Countach. The vintage supercar’s angular windows as well as the diagonal lines that drape its hood and rear glass will also be echoed in the long-awaited SUV’s architecture.

Don’t let all this talk about the Urus’ design and appearances confuse you however. Like the rest of Lamborghini’s exotic lineup, this baby will most certainly be more than pretty to look at. This monster of an SUV boasts a twin-turbo V8 making a whopping 650 horsepower and 627 lb.-ft. of torque. Lamborghini even has plans to unveil a hybrid version within a year of its release.

The Lamborghini Urus will be revealed on Dec. 4 in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy.
